FX-20P-E is a program conversion tool, but before considering program conversion, check the pro-
gramming tool on hand, the availability of the target program data, and the saved data format (cre-
ation tool).
For details on how to operate programming tools and program conversion tools (software), refer to
the relevant manual.
For information on the production discontinuation period of programmable controllers, refer to
Appendix 1.
1.1 Discontinued Models and Alternative Models
This section introduces discontinued models and recommended alternative models.
The alternative models introduced in this manual are standard models in terms of the number of
I/O points, program capacity, product, and I/O terminal shape (such as terminal block and connec-
tor), but other models may be more suitable depending on the application and operating condition.
Refer to [Precautions] below and consider the appropriate alternative model that suits your needs.
[Precautions]
(1) The recommended alternative models described in the table below are alternative products for
single models that correspond to models to be discontinued.
Depending on the usage status of the model to be discontinued and the system configuration
(usage statuses of the extension module and extension block), other models or series may be
suitable as an alternative.
(2) If few I/O points are actually used in a model to be discontinued, it may be possible to use an
alternative model with less I/O points than the model listed in the recommended alternative
model column.
The recommended alternative model for extension blocks and modules, built-in boards and
batteries, and other parts can be connected to the main module of the FX3 series. However,
they cannot be connected to the main module of discontinued models.
(3) Items that require particular attention when replacing models are described in the special note
column.
Many of the recommended alternative models have different specifications that are not
described in the "Special note" column, such as having a smaller dimension than the models to
be discontinued, so check the details of the dimensions, power supply, and other specifications
in the manuals, in addition to the "Special note" column, when considering the use of a recom-
mended alternative model. (especially when using the relay output type).
(4) If there is no alternative model to recommend due to the description in note 1 above, "No alter-
native model" will be written.
However, an existing product can be used as an alternative, depending on the application and
system configuration.
Check the functions and features needed and consider using an existing product as an alterna-
tive.
